Strategy
When I play, where should I stand close to the table or away from the table.
I do play from near the table, but I prefer to play from a distance as I get more time to see the ball and decide how to return the ball.
Thank You,
Sahil
Hi Sahil,
Each player has a preferred distance. Find the distance that feels most comfortable for you. In general though if you can be closer to the table you will give your opponent less time to react.
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
